This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with Plato and Socrates, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) is one of the triumvirate of philosophers responsible for the establishment of Western philosophy as it exists today. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were among the first to refine philosophical thought, and Socrates is credited with devising the Socratic Method as a way to argue and debate points rationally. The Ancient Greek philosophers further stressed the importance of virtue and stoicism, advocating the improvement of one's self through constant learning and knowledge. These teachings and practices formed the foundation for philosophy and psychology as fields of study. Still, Aristotle was very much his own philosopher. Though he studied at Plato's famous academy, he was not hesitant to counter or criticize Plato's philosophical stances on certain issues. Aristotle was the most renowned Ancient Greek philosopher for nearly 2,000 years

Download or read book Aristotle On Youth and Old Age Life and Death and Respiration 1 6 written by Giouli Korobili and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the last part of Aristotle’s collection of short treatises known today as the Parva Naturalia, i.e. the treatise On Youth and Old Age, on Life and Death, on Respiration. In the three main sections of the book, the author offers a translation, a commentary and a thorough analysis of this work. The author argues in favour of the unity of the work and contextualises its ideas within Aristotle’s corpus and the medical tradition of his time. After an Introduction to the nature of the work and its significance for the history of natural philosophy and science, a new English translation follows, along with a detailed commentary of Chapters 1-6, which combines philosophical discussion with philological observations. The book includes four interpretive essays, which tackle problems related to the whole treatise on a more philosophical basis, including questions about the structure and unity of the work, the organisation of the material, Aristotle’s methodological principles, his aims and target audience as well as the relevance of his selected themes to the thematic agenda of some Hippocratic writings. This book is of interest to students and researchers in Aristotle’s psychophysiology, and his views about the embodied mind, as well as to anyone concerned with the history of natural philosophy and science more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN his former work Dr. Ogle gave ample proof of his competence to deal with Aristotle, both as a scholar and as a biologist. The "simple Aristotelian" might cavil at some of his readings and renderings and at his method of translation, which is rather that of a paraphrase than of a literal translation. But the "simple Aristotelian" is generally a severe and sometimes rather a pedantic critic, and the biological student, to whom rather than to the pure scholar Dr. Ogle appeals, is more likely to appreciate good and intelligible English than a verbal and therefore often obscure rendering of the Greek. In the same spirit and with the same insight into Aristotle's thought and its relation to the history of biology, Dr. Ogle has now translated some of the smaller treatises of the master, which are variously regarded by different editors as either three separate treatises on Life and Death on Youth and Old Age, and on Respiration or as variously divided sections of the same treatise. Dr. Ogle adopts the latter view. "There seems," he says, " no adequate reason for any subdivision whatever of the treatise, and it appears more consistent with its internal structure to treat it as a single work dealing with several closely connected topics." We shall not attempt to anticipate the judgment of scholars on this solution of a problem which arises in one form or another in connection with nearly every one of Aristotle's works and has been the occasion of almost endless discussion and controversy. Nor need we attempt to appreciate the merit of Dr. Ogle's translation in general or of his solution of the many critical difficulties which confront the student of every portion of Aristotle's writings. His notes seem to show that he has allowed himself considerable latitude of conjectural emendation, but questions of this kind do not concern us here. Of far greater interest to the general, and more especially to the biological, reader is the lucid and very instructive introduction on the historical relations and fate of Aristotle's theory of respiration which Dr. Ogle has prefixed to his translation and the explanatory notes of the same character with which he has accompanied it. —London Times.

Download or read book Aristotle s Parva naturalia written by Ronald Polansky and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-05-20 with total page 1013 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle’s Parva naturalia continues the investigation begun in the De anima. The De anima defines the soul and treats its main powers, nutrition, sense perception, intellection, and locomotion. The Parva naturalia — On sense and sensible objects, On memory and recollection, On sleep, On dreams, On divination in sleep, On motion of animals (De motu animalium ), On length and shortness of life, and On youth and old age and respiration — attends more to bodily involvement with soul. While each work offers fascinating and challenging insights, there has never been as extensive a commentary covering them together. A reason is that the works have often been viewed as incidental and even inconsistent. The De motu animalium has not typically been included, when viewed as an isolated work on animal locomotion. This commentary argues that the treatises, considered together and with the De motu among them, display a tight sequence manifesting an artful, yet easily overlooked, design. We reveal many techniques of Aristotle’s writing that have received little consideration previously. Our commentary contributes to a unified and comprehensive account of Aristotle’s overall project regarding the soul and its connections with the body.

Download or read book Time for Aristotle written by Ursula Coope and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-20 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relation between time and change? Does time depend on the mind? Is the present always the same or is it always different? Aristotle tackles these questions in the Physics, and Time for Aristotle is the first book in English devoted to this discussion.Aristotle claims that time is not a kind of change, but that it is something dependent on change; he defines it as a kind of 'number of change'. Ursula Coope argues that what this means is that time is a kind of order (not, as is commonly supposed, a kind of measure). It is universal order within which all changes are related to each other. This interpretation enables Coope to explain two puzzling claims that Aristotle makes: that the now is like a moving thing, and that time depends for itsexistence on the mind. Brilliantly lucid in its explanation of this challenging section of the Physics, Time for Aristotle shows his discussion to be of enduring philosophical interest.
Download or read book Nicomachean Ethics written by Aristotle and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2006 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" is considered to be one of the most important treatises on ethics ever written. In an incredibly detailed study of virtue and vice in man, Aristotle examines one of the most central themes to man, the nature of goodness itself. In Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics," he asserts that virtue is essential to happiness and that man must live in accordance with the "doctrine of the mean" (the balance between excess and deficiency) to achieve such happiness.
Download or read book The Architecture of the Science of Living Beings written by Andrea Falcon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have paid ample attention to Aristotle's works on animals. By contrast, they have paid little or no attention to Theophrastus' writings on plants. That is unfortunate because there was a shared research project in the early Peripatos which amounted to a systematic, and theoretically motivated, study of perishable living beings (animals and plants). This is the first sustained attempt to explore how Aristotle and Theophrastus envisioned this study, with attention focused primarily on its deep structure. That entails giving full consideration to a few transitional passages where Aristotle and Theophrastus offer their own description of what they are trying to do. What emerges is a novel, sophisticated, and largely idiosyncratic approach to the topic of life. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Download or read book Ageing in Medieval Jewish Culture written by Elisha Russ-Fishbane and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a seminal study of cultural attitudes to old age among Jews of the medieval Mediterranean and Near Eastern regions. Rigorously researched and accessibly written, it will appeal to scholars across a range of disciplines as well as to the broader public. While the focus is on Jewish society and culture, critical context regarding the social history of ageing is provided by comparative perspectives from the Muslim world as well as from Spain and Provence and other areas of Christian Europe that were in the Arabic Andalusian cultural orbit. The study draws on many literary genres and scholarly disciplines: philosophy and theology, ethics and law, biblical commentary, Hebrew poetry, medical literature, and a host of marriage contracts, personal letters, and family and communal records from the Cairo Genizah. The result is a nuanced portrait of ageing as both a lived reality and a cultural paradigm in medieval Jewish society.
Download or read book Old Age New Science written by Hyung Wook Park and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1870 and 1940, life expectancy in the United States skyrocketed while the percentage of senior citizens age sixty-five and older more than doubled—a phenomenon owed largely to innovations in medicine and public health. At the same time, the Great Depression was a major tipping point for age discrimination and poverty in the West: seniors were living longer and retiring earlier, but without adequate means to support themselves and their families. The economic disaster of the 1930s alerted scientists, who were actively researching the processes of aging, to the profound social implications of their work—and by the end of the 1950s, the field of gerontology emerged. Old Age, New Science explores how a group of American and British life scientists contributed to gerontology's development as a multidisciplinary field. It examines the foundational "biosocial visions" they shared, a byproduct of both their research and the social problems they encountered. Hyung Wook Park shows how these visions shaped popular discourses on aging, directly influenced the institutionalization of gerontology, and also reflected the class, gender, and race biases of their founders.
